The Initiatives We’re Building Today With Tomorrow In Mind

At GETC Group, sustainability is not just a priority — it is woven into the fabric of everything we do.  As a leader in the building supply manufacturing industry, we recognise the profound impact our operations have on the environment, communities, and future generations.  This understanding drives our unwavering commitment to being a catalyst for positive change, both locally and globally.

Within this policy, we clearly define our comprehensive approach to corporate responsibility.  By integrating sustainable practices into every facet of our operations, we strive to minimise our environmental footprint, enhance social well-being, and uphold the highest standards of ethical governance.  We are dedicated to aligning our growth with the global movement towards sustainable development, ensuring that our success contributes to a better, greener, and more equitable world.

This document serves as a roadmap for our sustainability journey.  It outlines our commitments to environmental stewardship, social equity, and ethical business practices, providing a clear framework for achieving our goals while inspiring collaboration with our stakeholders to create a more sustainable future for all.

Our ESG pillars

Envrionmental

Room to Grow:
Tree Planting

For every room we complete, a native tree is planted via our Australian reforestation partner, contributing to carbon absorption, biodiversity and habitat restoration. We provide location details, media from planting days and share-ready content for your channels.

Mattress Recycling Programme

We collaborate with an industry-leading, ABSC-accredited partner to recover steel, foams/latex, textiles and timber, feeding circular uses such as scrap steel, flooring underlay, engineered timber and Processed Engineered Fuel (PEF)/Waste-to-Energy (location dependent). Weighbridge data is captured in our Feathertop app for verified diversion metrics.
